Is it really necessary that yahoo's headline read:

"Recently banned tennis player Mathieu Montcourt dies at 24"

I mean, we are talking $3.00 bets. They launch an investigation regarding millions of dollars in bets, and as usual, they "catch" people who bet less than $200.00...total, for all his bets...4 years ago.

No way! At 24??? So tragic...

Mon ami MATHIEU MONTCOURT

This morning I woke up with one of the worst news anyone can receive. I heard about the death of our friend Mathieu Montcourt. I am still under shock for this. I can't believe it.

I knew Mathieu since we were kids. We competed together at all the events at an international level there is since you are a kid: Les Petit As, Copa Borotta, etc. and of course afterwards once becoming professionals,.

When someone like this disappears, when something like this happens, you really know where we are and the relativeness of winning or losing a tennis match, of not competing at an event or anything else. This is the loss of a guy who was only 24 and that was sports person. He won't be playing with us again.

I would like to send my most deep and sincere condolences to his family, to his friends and to the French fans.

Mathieu, Rest in peace.

Rafa Nadal

The timing makes it relevant. His suspension only kicked in yesterday--fair to wonder if there is any connection there.

And sadly, it's probably what he is best known for.

Terrible.

RIP, young man.

**Blelidupgerie** · 07-07-2009, 05:02 PM

Just got to work and saw this on Yahoo.

So, so sad.

My heart goes out to his family.

Lovely note from Rafa.

**Lotyqnag** · 07-07-2009, 05:18 PM

Wow, just crazy! I watched some of his match against Stepanek just a month ago at the French Open.

Another tragic loss, this time in the tennis community.

I don't remember him, but still a very sad case...
